I've always seen Railworld but never visited so it seemed like a good choice for a bright Saturday. We were given a nice welcome and a map of the area on arrival and paid what I think is a bargain price of PS4 pet adult to enter. You can see a few old trains awaiting restoration close to the entrance plus an outdoor model railway and an area to sit and have a sandwich if you want to watch them and then a bridge takes you over the Nene. This side there is a lovely nature walk, an old signal box, a viewing area where you can see all the lines heading for Peterborough station, an inside area with learning and kids games and another room with a fantastic model railway. This was being taken care of by a young volunteer who really seemed to be enjoying what he was doing. It looked really pretty when the lights were dimmed and the lights in the houses on the model railway came on. This isn't a large place at all but it is a little gem of tranquility in a big city. Kids or adults with any interest in trains would love it. Even those without much interest would enjoy it. Small cafe on site too selling tea and sandwiches at low prices too!
Lovely place to spend a day with family lots of railway tracts and to see and the place is still under development and will be a real gem soon please don't park your car any where the place has a free carpark tickets are very cheep . There is a nice Caffe serves sandwiches and drinks. The nature trail is fascinating and intimidating. You can see the trains to Cambridge while you are in the platform
We went on the railway the seats were comfy and it is great for a picnic also there was a kids park in wansford also bought models of train
Travelled by train from Lincoln with my two ages two and 12. It's true what folk say, it's a real hidden gem. The viewing platforms are ace, the model railways are stunning and nature trails are peaceful. Cute little cafe that has drinks, snacks and ice creams. Loads of picnic benches. We spend well over 3hrs and could have stayed longer but for our return train home. The entrance cost is so reasonable. PS4 adults and only PS2 for kids! Highly recommended.
Had a lovely day here with the kids. All the volunteers were great, from the kid in the world room to the guy in the cafe, and all the busy bees around the nature trail. Strongly recommend.
Hidden Gem in the City centre of Peterborough ! A fascinating garden run by beautiful souls. The warm welcome, made my day. Friendly lovely staff all around the premises. Well maintained. We spent nearly 2 hours and yy children enjoyed every minute if it. The model trains indoor was super. Got to know the outdoor one is closed for refurbishing. Loved the wildlife, which includes frogs, birds and insects. Small waterfalls and perfectly located seating areas. What a Day we had. Recommend to all families. Hats off for the volunteers who are wotking really hard to keep this gem shining.
